D'oh!

It's 'work on portfolio' day, here at CHCC, so here I am, at the computer, in a quiet, deserted room. All peaceful and non-distracting, so that I can get lots done. Except. My iPod ran out of juice on the way in to work this morning, and I've got no music. This is a Bad Thing. Without the minor 'I can tune it out' distraction of music, it is much, much harder to not be distracted by everything else. It's gonna be a long morning.

Eta: Oh yeah, I've definitely reached the painful stage of revisions. Every word and phrase on the paper is pulled out of my reluctant brain much in the way a tooth is extracted, by brute force. It's much like writing a paper for school, only instead of getting a nice happy A for all my hard work, I'm most likely going to get a second round of revisions to do. Le sigh.
